But then I would extend the same challenge to you.

Post a piece of code that follows the pattern that you
predict, and then see if the actual example of
not-so-well-written, non-ASCII-pure code can resonate
in the minds of folks who aren't able to imagine the
validity of your points without an example in front of
them.

I know that Ping has produced one example of deceptive
non-ASCII-pure code, but it didn't really sway me,
even though I've been basically sympatethic to his
overall conservatism about either keeping ASCII purity
or introducing Unicode only with some proper
safeguards.
